US Gen. Election Thread VI: You've Got E-Mail

[Astrolinium]

Jumping off Cymrea's points, I would like to add that this is the best (online) place I found to actually discuss the election. Probably actually one of the more informative one's too, given the plethora of links that everyone posts, and the number of opinions and reasoning for them.

Not that I've been super active in this cycle, but I definitely agree. This forum has cultivated a really strong culture of citation and substantive posting, and it dramatically improves the quality of the discourse over some other places I frequent.

Hurd! Your post broke the page!

The Trump campaign wants the identity of the poll worker who closed the line for Nevada early voting.

What in the world?

My official election prediction:

"I wasn't expecting the Jebediah takeover."

"NOBODY EXPECTS THE JEBEDIAH TAKEOVER!"

Well it's not technically illegal.

It is a dick move though.

So.. if I get this straight..

- There are long lines for voting. A waiting time of an hour is considered short.
- Politicians deliberately ensure that there are fewer polling stations in districts where most people prefer an opposing candidate
- Privacy during voting is not insured
- There is no protection against coercion

Are we*really* talking about the USA here and not some backwater dictatorship that pretends it is democratic ?

Implying the two aren't synonyms.

Riots, military units are deserting, McDonalds has shut down nationwide.

Really?

No lol

I'm very appreciative of that.

When does the winner get announced?

"I have no idea what the internal policies of Clark County are."

You don't say?

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Really?

No lol

Oh! You got me.

Good one.

[The Emerald Dawn]

When does the winner get announced?

After the Thunderdome event.

Which is usually sometime tomorrow morning.

I wonder if Trump and son suspected that their wives wouldn't vote the way they wanted.

[Cymrea]

When does the winner get announced?

Late December, after a long-deadlocked Supreme Court rules.

[Mad hatters in jeans]

but there's only a 10% chance of that

It's really a 35% chance when you take into account how many states Trump has visited

Riots, military units are deserting, McDonalds has shut down nationwide.

Really?

Obama sang the national anthem while drunk, then someone threw a basketball at him and he slam dunked it into GW Bush and said;
"THAT'S IT I'M OUT OF HERE YOU FUCKERS"*


*this entire scenario is only true if you spin around fifty times while slathering your body with pancake batter.

When does the winner get announced?

When the Cubs win the world series.

I'm amused that you're surprised.

Here's the Nevada hearing livestream.

What's going on here...?

[Eol Sha]

When does the winner get announced?

Depends on how the night goes. If the race is close then we'll probably know by tomorrow morning. If it isn't close then we'll probably know before midnight.

Here's the Nevada hearing livestream.

Context?

Here's the Nevada hearing livestream.

What's going on here...?

I have no idea. The Trumps campaign's lawyer seems to be demanding Clark County do what they've already been doing.

[Washington Resistance Army]

What time do the first polls close again? 6 eastern time right?

[Freefall11111]

Here's the Nevada hearing livestream.

Context?

The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit against Clark County for keeping a polling station open past closing time. The reason they did this is because people were already in line. The Trump campaign lawyer seems to be demanding that Clark County keep records that were already being kept so that an investigation can be held later.

[Freefall11111]

What time do the first polls close again? 6 eastern time right?

Yes. Indiana and Kentucky close at 18:00 Eastern.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

What time do the first polls close again? 6 eastern time right?

As far as I understand the first polls close somewhere around 16:00 CST, so 18:00 EST would be correct
